Key Discussion Points & Insights

Introduction, Community, and Duvall Day

• Duvall Day: Lil Duval describes “Duvall Day” as a community event inspired by classic Florida weekends, aimed at keeping money and energy in the community. He emphasizes it’s about ecosystem and safety ("Only person that don’t make money is me.") and reflects on the event’s decade-long run (06:42–08:10).

  “Everybody get to make money and it's all stay in our community.” – Lil Duval (06:42)
  “As long as they don't shoot my shit up, I keep doing it. And it's been 10 years.” – Lil Duval (07:26)

• Camp Duval: Duval discusses his retreat/camp as a personal getaway spot and a place to vibe with friends and family, keeping it tongue-in-cheek: “and it’s for my hoes, too” (08:24–08:41).

Lil Duval on Lifestyle: Weed, Sobriety, and Podcasting

• His Weed Journey: Started smoking during promotion for a film, right on Drink Champs ("I started smoking on y’all shit, now that I think about it"). He likens weed to coffee, “I do it for a vibe” (08:47–09:28).

• Sobriety: He doesn’t drink, doesn’t like the taste or effect, and believes alcohol is a dangerous drug in the community (10:00–10:41).

  “I think liquor is the worst drug of them all. Cause everybody I know, that been really fucked up… it'd really be the alcohol.” – Lil Duval (10:34)

• Why Not Podcasting: Despite brief forays into podcasting, Duval isn’t interested in committing to a weekly show. He likes the freedom to post on his own terms, thanks to social media (11:26–12:40).

  “I came in a pocket in a certain time where I could do what the fuck I want, how I wanna do it, and I was successful at it. So I ain’t finna change.” (11:47)

• Viral Moments & Social Media: Reckons with how offhand, controversial comments go viral and why he’s careful on air (12:11–12:53).

Comedy, Evolution, and the Digital Era (14:10–19:23)

• Musical-Comedy Crossover: Lil Duval discusses blending performances, saying he can easily transition between comedy, rap, R&B, and more, catering shows as needed (14:10–15:15).

  “I could do it. Give me a mic. I could do it.” (14:43)

• Comedy’s Evolution: Addresses critique that “cancel culture” hampers comedy — he disagrees, saying comedy has simply evolved. Points to the success of online comedians and formats (Drewski, DC Young Fly), noting how stand-up is now like jazz: always around but not the main thing (15:12–16:07):

  “Stand up is like jazz now... it’s gonna always be there, but it’s just moved on” (15:34)

• OGs vs. "Internet" Comedians: Lively discussion on whether online funny people count as real comedians if they haven’t done stand-up, referencing Mike Epps, DC Young Fly (16:56–17:54).

• First Breaks: Credits Cedric the Entertainer for giving him his big break, launching him onto college tours and viral comedy before “going viral” was a thing (18:36–19:23).

  “Cedric, he put me on a dvd… that took me on all the college tours… In comedy, like most mother comedians, it take like 10, 20 years to get where you want to get. Where I came up out the door running, and I came up quick.” (18:43)

• Atlanta Roots: Describes starting stand-up in Atlanta in ‘99 at Uptown Comedy Corner, and the city claiming him despite his Florida roots (19:29–23:56).

Social Media: Growth, Collaboration, and Staying Power

• MySpace to Today: Was an early adopter of MySpace and YouTube, did some of the first skits, and collaborated with Charlamagne on the “Hood State of the Union” podcast (21:36–22:30).

• Comedy & Music Crossroads: Details how being in music videos (especially during the 2000s) was crucial for getting seen, likening 106 & Park to today’s IG or TikTok for visibility (20:05–21:28).

Bombing on Stage, the Realities of Stand-Up

• Bombing Stories: Every comic bombs—his worst was in Detroit, even when he had the #1 song (“Smile”) (24:07–25:28). Reflects on how stand-up is live trial-and-error, unlike music, where you can work out kinks in a studio (26:10–26:24).

  "Our studio is the stage. So y’all see us fail." (26:18)

Comedy Crews, Loyalty, and Lifting Others

• Building a Team: Duval prefers touring with loyal, funny friends over local openers, fostering camaraderie and helping genuine people get their shine (31:13–32:17).

• Ghostwriting in Comedy: Affirms some help with premises or punch-ups, likening joke support to songwriting or having a writers’ room, but you still have to perform (34:00–34:26).

• Joke Theft: Recognizes joke/premise theft as unavoidable, especially in the social era, and just keeps pushing his own creativity (35:21–37:12).

Reflections on Fame, Legacy, and Giving Back

• Staying True: Emphasizes not chasing mainstream, non-Black awards, caring more for flowers from the community itself (30:11–30:58).

  “Stuff like this I love more than like, I've never wanted, I've never cared about Oscars and none of that. I've always… cared about our community more” (30:13)

• Flowers and Mentorship: The show pauses to literally give Lil Duval his "flowers" and highlight his impact (30:00–30:58).

• Platform Building: Talks about recently producing and starring in an independent horror-comedy, Camp Duval, casting comedian friends and planning his own distribution (42:31–48:16).

The “Quick Time With Slime” Segment (Drinking Game)

(Lil Duval doesn’t drink, so his crew takes shots for him; questions fly about rap and comedy favorites.)

Notable Choices:

• Eddie Murphy over Richard Pryor: “Eddie Murphy’s the real goat. Like, ain’t nobody gonna ever do it.” (51:53)
• DC Young Fly over Drewski – "I know how solid he is." (55:02)
• Bernie Mac vs. Red Fox: Picks Red Fox for longevity and evolving as a comedian (62:09).
• In Living Color over SNL– “Never wanted to be on SNL. I wanted to be on In Living Color.” (70:02)
• Def Comedy Jam vs. Comic View: Def Comedy Jam inspired him to do stand-up, despite being on Comic View (71:14–71:26).

Humorous barbs, stories of club days, and Miami/Atlanta nostalgia pepper the game, with J Ski, Erica Dutchess, and Duval’s DJ all joining the fun.

Crew Introductions and Loyalty Stories (79:18–89:36)

• Crew members (including J Ski, Erica Dutchess, and DJ Brock) each share their journey to joining Duval’s shows, emphasizing authenticity, loyalty, and lifting up fellow talent from their own communities.

• Flying His Own Plane: Duval schools the crew on his three private planes, double-propeller safety, and the economics of flying a talent team city to city (95:43–98:09).

• Deep Sea Diving & Other Adventures: Duval discusses going scuba diving with sharks, seeing it as a tool for inspiring others from his community to think bigger (103:37–104:55).

Reflections on the Comedy-Hip-Hop Connection (121:10–128:55)

• Comedians Doing Music & Vice Versa: The hosts debate whether being a comedian is harder than being a rapper, and whether the lanes can be crossed successfully. Duval and his crew argue that, while both are subject to taste and skills, stand-up is generally harder and riskier since there’s nowhere to hide onstage.

  “Ain’t nothing harder than stand up, you know what I’m saying? Cuz you got to keep…” (126:10)

Final Philosophies, the Importance of Giving Back, Community

• Duval’s Legacy: Stresses the importance of passing down knowledge, acting as you want others to act, loving your community, and scoffing at competitive “crab in a barrel” mindsets.

  “We’ve all programmed, we so programmed to chase money. It kind of smokes our brains out to doing what we supposed to do…” (111:39)

• Paying It Forward: He’s proud that newer comedians help each other now, crediting himself and others for modeling that loyalty (112:09–112:44).

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Outgrowing and Returning to the Hood:

  “You had so much fun in the hood, right? Then you got older… you realize you ain’t outgrowing the hood things.” – N.O.R.E. (05:51)

• On Social Media’s Impact:

  “I just evolved with the times. Y’all just ain’t caught on yet. But you did. Cause you’re doing it.” – Lil Duval (13:18)

• On Community Validation:

  “Stuff like this I love more than like, I've never wanted, I've never cared about Oscars and none of that. I've always cared about our community more…” – Lil Duval (30:13)

• On Legacy & Authenticity:

  “They used to always say, that's Duval, that's Little Duval… Just hearing Duvall… I was like, all right, I'm going to put it in my name. So whenever they say my name, it's repping my whole city.” – Lil Duval (38:00)

[Lil Duval]

[DJ EFN]

We were not fully.

[Lil Duval]

Fully.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We're not fully developed.

[DJ EFN]

We weren't fully developed, but now we are fully developed. We are giving his flowers. We are showing him what he means to this goddamn industry. Showing him how important it is. And in case you don't know, we talking about one only. Now this, this is. This is. This is something that every year I want to hit you about. Duvall Day, right? How you say do all day, Right? My bad. I ain't going to lie. That shit seems so fun. Like. Like you make the hood seem like you know what it is. Like when we were coming up, you had so much fun in the hood, right? Then you got older, and then you realize that you outgrew the hood. But then you realize you ain't outgrowing the hood things. So every year I look at your Instagram, I'm mad with you. But can you describe to the people who don't know what's going on? Tell them about this.

[Lil Duval]

It's like when we came up you from Florida. So we had Memorial Weekend, we had Daytona, we had Black Classic weekend. And those things kind of molded who we was. But over the years, we forgot about stuff like that. So I felt like we needed something like that in our culture. So I just started doing it. And it's something more for our economy and our ecosystem and our culture, you know what I'm saying? Where everybody, they make money. Only person don't make money is me. So it's like everybody get to make money and it's all stay in our community.

[DJ EFN]

You mean like the vendors?

[Lil Duval]

So it's all vendors, Everybody. I don't make a dime off of it. They all make their own thing, and everybody get to come up and we all have a good time, and it's safe, and it's in a place where they think it's the worst part of the city. But ain't no crime or nothing happening. So it's a beautiful thing. And I told them, as long as they don't shoot my shit up, I keep doing it. And it's been 10 years. It's been 10 years.

[DJ EFN]

That's what I'm about to ask you. That's my next question. Like, what kind of gangster are you that on these days there's no crime happening?

[Lil Duval]

I ain't gonna say it's gangster. It's just like, they really know me. They really seen me.

[DJ EFN]

And they proud of you.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. They watch me come up. I've always held us down. And so they know it's all genuine come from. They know it ain't like everybody can't. Cause I always hear people say, like, man, we can't do this in our hood. You could do it if your h really understood you and loved you. And, like, I'm really like, what you call it when you come from the hood? Like a rose that came from the concrete. And they saw it and they know it, so they respect it, you know? So that's really why I'm able to do it.

[DJ EFN]

So now you got the camp.

[Lil Duval]

Oh, yeah, I got. That's Camp Duval. That's a whole nother thing.

[DJ EFN]

That's a whole nother thing.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. I bought a resort. I mean, I bought a retreat. Cause I've been going retreats. I used to do Gemini retreat every year. So I say this year, I'm gonna buy my own retreat. So I bought, like, a lot of acres and got two lakes running, a river running through, you know? Oh, tight shit.

[DJ EFN]

So what the fuck the camp is gonna be?

[Lil Duval]

The camp, it's really like a community for place like. Like my friends and family, when they want to come vibe and get away from all the stuff and just chill and get my vibes, you can come there and come chill with me, and then it's for my hoes, too, you know?

[DJ EFN]

I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. So I remember at one point, you never even smoked.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

So how did. How did you go from not smoking to, like, you're the biggest smoker in the world now?

[Lil Duval]

Like.

[DJ EFN]

Like, I can tell when you went home.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

How long ago was this that you didn't smoke?

[Lil Duval]

Did I smoke? First time we did drink?

[DJ EFN]

Shit, no no, no, not the first time. The second one you did for sure.

[Lil Duval]

You know what? I. That's when I started smoking. I started smoking on y' all shit, now that I think about it. Cause remember we was. We was up there with DJ Poodle for the movie. I didn't smoke then.

[DJ EFN]

That's right.

[Lil Duval]

I didn't smoke during that movie. So I started smoking on the promo of that movie.

[DJ EFN]

Wow.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

So, like, now I gotta ask that question. So you're a grown man. How does somebody approach you and say, hey, man, I think you should start smoking? Cause this is before the accident I did.

[Lil Duval]

I had in my head, like, once I gather to a certain point in my life, like, I can't fuck my life up no more. I got enough money, I got enough to see a situation. Drugs ain't gonna fuck me up now. So I said, I'm gonna try it. So I tried it. And once I tried it, I ain't never stopped, Right? Yeah. But I love it, though. It's a vibe. It's like coffee for me or something in the past. Yeah. Like, you know, most people drink coffee, shit like that. I do it for a vibe, just pastime type shit and all, right.

[DJ EFN]

So, boom, you hit it the first time. Now, you had never been a drinker or.

[Lil Duval]

I don't drink at all.

[DJ EFN]

At all.

[Lil Duval]

I don't fuck around.

[DJ EFN]

I remember Kevin Hart passed you a shot or something when you got out the.

[Lil Duval]

Did he?

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah. Y' all remember, like, when you got out the hospital and shit, he passed you something.

[Lil Duval]

Oh, he tried. Yeah. I mean, he was trying to promote his drink.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, yeah. You took a shot of it.

[Lil Duval]

No, fuck, I didn't. Did I take a shot?

[DJ EFN]

I thought you did.

[Lil Duval]

I don't remember. I could ask them.

[AGN (Female Comedian)]

You would know.

[Lil Duval]

Cause they don't know. Cause he like to catch me slipping a lot. That nigga J Ski ain't shit.

[DJ EFN]

But big up to J Ski. Is it a reason why you don't drink? Or, like. Is.

[Lil Duval]

I just don't like the way it make me feel. And I don't like the way it tastes. And everybody. I think liquor is the worst drug of them all.

[J Ski]

Wow.

[Lil Duval]

Cause everybody I know, that been really fucked up. You think it's crack or some shit, but it'd really be the alcohol. Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

Cause alcohol's everywhere.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. And it's so. And you. You second guess. I mean, you don't think, like, how bad it is because it's so. In our culture and in our community, we take it, like, take it for granted. But that shit really you up.

[DJ EFN]

Well, did you. Have you ever had a bad night on liquor? That's the reason why, no. You don't got no funny story about you being drunk.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

So you've never got drunk?

[Lil Duval]

I ain't gonna say if I did. Y' all ain't gonna get nothing out of me on this show. I'll tell you that right now. Like, it's gonna be the boringest show ever. Yeah, that's all good. Yeah. Just on some regular shit. I like. I like. I like the podcast before it got wild, you know? No, y' all not. Well, y' all not. But the community of podcast got to where it's like, everybody come on here to get something off. Yeah, I want to wait. I had to wait till it calmed down and come back on it.

[DJ EFN]

Why? Why wouldn't you do your own show? I can't go for that.

[Lil Duval]

No, I did it at one time. I did do it at one time with my sister, my gay sister. We had a. We had a podcast, but I just don't care enough. I like to do what I want to. Like, y' all gotta get up here and care about, worry about if the artist gonna come in and all that type of shit. I wanna do shit when I wanna do it. And that's where social media and stuff gave me a platform to do what I wanna do. And I've been able to do it so long, it's hard for me to conform. And I'm not telling nobody else to follow my lead because I don't know if it'll work anymore. But for me, I came in a pocket in a certain time where I could do what the fuck I want, how I wanna do it, and I was successful at it. So I ain't finna change.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, everybody can't do podcasts.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, I mean, you could podcast by podcast.

[Lil Duval]

I could do it, but I just.

[DJ EFN]

A show, period.

[Lil Duval]

I understand with podcasting you talking and eventually talk too much, you going to say some crazy shit. It's impossible not to. Y' all had a lot of on there that came out, and I don't want that part. Like, people think I'm that type of comedian, but I'm really not. I just say what's on my mind, and I don't be realizing it's offensive till after the fact, you know, I'm pretty sure y' all deal with that on these parts. Y' all don't even know that shit going to go viral.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Something you don't even imagine going.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, you don't even think that they going to get offended by, you know, And I don't be giving the Enough. So it's just like, I don't even. I ain't gonna even give him nothing to shout with.

[DJ EFN]

Now that segment that you do on. On. On Instagram, I can't go for that. I live for that. I live.

[Lil Duval]

Can do.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah. You know, can do. So.

[Lil Duval]

And a. My mama did, right?

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, my mama did.

[Lil Duval]

That's this lady. This lady, she was mad and somebody.

[DJ EFN]

And I made it at Walmart, right?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, they was at Walmart. So I just. Anytime something stupid, I just post that.

[DJ EFN]

Okay, but how about the.

[Lil Duval]

I can't go for that. Yeah, yeah. When somebody do something too stupid. Nah, that you're going too far. So that's where I did that from. All my stuff is little bits. That's like how comedy evolved. We just. Our minds ain't programmed enough. Because back in the day, what we remember is little bits from them standup specials. We don't get that no more. Like, you don't even get it from Dave Chappelle no more. You just get it from bits offline. And I was able to evolve into that. So now it's little saying that y' all remember, right? It was like basic bitch smile, kill yourself all little shit like that there. I incorporated social media the same way they used to do in stand up. So I just evolved with the times. Y' all just ain't caught on yet. But you did. Cause you're doing it.

[DJ EFN]

So let me ask you. If a person books you do. Is it separate when they book you for performing or when they book you for performing music?

[Lil Duval]

Well, I kind of catered my comedy all into one where I could do everything.

[DJ EFN]

Okay, wow.

[Lil Duval]

You know what I'm saying? Where. If you need a rap concert, I can do that. If you need a music concert. I mean a R and B concert, I could do that. If you need a comedy show, I can do that. So it's like, it don't matter what you book me for. And over time, people, the promoters, it ain't but so many promoters in the country, so they kind of know. And over time, they seen me do and they seen what I can do in my ticket sales, so they just know to book me now. It's just I'm kind of grandfathered into this shit.

[DJ EFN]

So do you. Do you pre Hersh the show like that? Like I'm saying, like.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, yeah, you have a set, but it's just like anything. Like when you do a rap Concert, you have certain songs, you're like, I'm gonna put this song in and put that song. It's the same thing with Stand up and everything that's in my music and everything else. I just place it in certain. I got it. I done built you to where? To where I can put it in anything now. You know what I'm saying? I can put it in any show, any stage. Give me a mic. I could do it.

[DJ EFN]

Now. Is comedy suffering now because, like, you know, everyone's scared to get canceled. I don't know if you scared to get canceled.

[Lil Duval]

No, it ain't suffering at all. I think it's just evolved and I think it evolved into what we see now. Like with the Drew skis and the Drewski killing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what he's evolved into. It came from the old stand up and from. I like the bridge. The next thing you know, it's like that. It's just stand up is like jazz now. You know what I'm saying? You know how rap.

[AGN (Female Comedian)]

That's the way to put it.

[Lil Duval]

That's the way. That's what it is. It's like it's gonna always be there, but it's just moved on to what we see now with. Cause you gotta think we came up on Def Comedy Jams.

[DJ EFN]

That's right.

[Lil Duval]

They came up on wild nile and 85 south and stuff like that. So that's what they mindset of comedy is, you know what I'm saying? Or comedian. Back in the day, when you say comedian, we think stand up now you as a comedian, they say drew skin and stuff like.

[DJ EFN]

But anybody who can make you laugh.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, anybody who can.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He's a mix, like in Living Color and.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, but that's what he evolved. You see what I'm saying? So it's just evolved. It's just people our age don't want to accept it.

[DJ EFN]

You know what's the funny thing? We had Mike Epps on here one time, right? And I'm sorry, I keep repeating real og. Yeah, yeah, sorry I keep repeating this story, but we had Mike Epps. I thought, this is. This is the dumbest shit I've ever done in my life. One of the dumbest shit. Cause I've done a lot of dumb shit, but I thought all comedians knew each other, right? So I don't know why the fuck I thought of that, right? So I got Mike Epps here. He got his boy. I forgot his name that he going on a roll with. And then I had to do Redo you know, Redo the Internet comedian. So I'm thinking they all know each other. I got Redo here. Mike Epps and his boy just fries this guy. Like I'm talking about like. So you got the chance to see a real comedian and then an Internet comedian, like he was funny. Ritu is very funny. But he's funny in skits. He couldn't be like I'm talking about they.

[Lil Duval]

I mean. Cause he wasn't ready for it. But you got comedians like D.C. young fly that came off the Internet. But he put in the work. Now he's a real comedian, a stand up comedian for where people the OG's respected and he could do the social media. So it's just, you just, if you come off that social media stuff, you just gotta put in the work. It's just kind of hard to go where you got all these fans loving you. But on that stage, it's like the boxing ring, right. You only as good as your fight. That fight there, you can get knocked out at any moment. So a lot of people scared of that. So that's why they don't do it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, it don't always translate either. You're really good at skits and not be able to do stand up.

[Lil Duval]

But it's kind of hard to stand up now because people's attention span short and everybody think they're comedian now. So everybody critiquing.

[DJ EFN]

Right, Right.

[Lil Duval]

Instead of just enjoying the jokes. You know what I'm saying? But if you enjoy the jokes, you wouldn't even care. But in this day and age, everything is critiqued because podcast, that's all you do now is critique.

[DJ EFN]

Right.

[Lil Duval]

And that's the problem with the game. We do more critiquing than entertaining.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah. Do you think a comedian has to be a comedian if they.

[Lil Duval]

If, if.

[DJ EFN]

Do you think a comedian can be called a comedian if he has no standup? Yeah, you can still be called a comedian.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. I consider Drew Skiing being the Don. What's other streaming niggas out here, I consider all of them. Cause for me, if I didn't like that, I'd be shitting on myself. Cause I kind of once started a lot of that stuff. So it's like that's what it's supposed to be. This has evolved into that. They was hating on us when we first came up.

[DJ EFN]

Really?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. When comic viewing ain't out, it was like all they did is just one joke. Because they used to play like one bit and then go to the next bit. But old comedian, they used to doing hours worth of bits. So it's just evolving that now them Comic View niggas hating on these n. You know what I'm saying? Just evolves.

[DJ EFN]

Like you said, Comedy View. So let's take it from there. So how did you. Let me get it. How did you get your first break.

[Lil Duval]

Cedric, entertain the starting lineup. I always give him his props. Cause Cedric, he put me on a dvd and from that I did that song. I remixed music. Soul Child, that was my first hit. People think Smile is my first book, but that was my first hit. Went viral before viral. And that took me on all the college tours. And I kind of blew up like a viral motherfucking. In comedy, like most mother comedians, it take like 10, 20 years to get where you want to get. Where I came up out the door running, and I came up quick. So it was just. That's what gave me my thing. Dad, Comic View and Cedric Entertainer all in one.

[DJ EFN]

So when did you link up with TI Cause that's from on the east coast. That's when we started to like.

[Lil Duval]

Tip was just an Atlanta thing. Because I started in Atlanta. I started doing stand up at Uptown.

[DJ EFN]

Not in Florida?

[Lil Duval]

No, I started in Atlanta.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, Wow.

[Lil Duval]

I started 27 years ago.

[DJ EFN]

Wow.

[Lil Duval]

Like I've been doing. I started 99 in Atlanta at Uptown Comedy Corner. And Nard Hoston, he just died a couple years ago. He'd been on the road with me too. He died, but he the first person giving the mic. And then I used to always come up there. I was one of the crowd favorites. And Tip used to come in there all the time, all the rappers. That's how I got in most music videos.

[DJ EFN]

Usually all the music videos.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, it was all the music videos. Because at the time it wasn't nothing out there for. For nobody. Honestly. Sitcom, he was like Tyson Bedford at one point.

[DJ EFN]

He was in all the music videos. Yeah, yeah.

[Lil Duval]

He used to call me video bitch name nigga. But at the time, you gotta think it wasn't nothing from like 2000 to 2000, probably 10 or 15. It wasn't no comedy out there. For real. It wasn't nothing out there. So if you wasn't like in the hip hop scene, you wasn't really getting seen. And that's where everybody. The 106 and park was like what Instagram and or TikTok was. So I knew that. I kind of understood that. And I understood, oh, I gotta be in these videos. And I get more. I get more pulled in a motherfucker in the movie, right? And I used to get that. Yeah. Face recognition. I knew. And I knew everybody in there at one time. I was on 106 and park more than the rappers. Like, I was on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Oh, shit. Yeah. So. And I understood that and understood the audience. And I was young, too, so I had to college. And most comedians, they don't like doing colleges. I was the perfect age for college, so I was killing them all. I had the colleges on lock for a good 10, 15 years. So that's how I came through. And then once that evolved in social media, and then I saw social media, I took. I was on that and I evolved from there. And I seen that's how it was going, and I just kept it going, you know.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What was the first social media platform that you released?

[Lil Duval]

MySpace.

[DJ EFN]

Let's make some noise for Tom.

[Lil Duval]

MySpace.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

A lot of people popped off in MySpace, man.

[Lil Duval]

MySpace.

[DJ EFN]

Tom was my first friend.

[Lil Duval]

MySpace, we was on there. I did that. And YouTube. I probably got one of the first skits ever on YouTube. If you go look back, it got the timestamp, but we was doing that. Then we did Hood State of the Union. That was our podcast. We was doing that, me and Charlamagne.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, that's right.

[Lil Duval]

Did Hood State of the Unions. And that's when all that shit started evolving. Everything we see in there, it's like seeing hip hop grow. That's how I saw it. Like seeing hip hop grow. I felt like Cold Crush, except I got some money out of here.

[DJ EFN]

Now what the fuck?

[J Ski]

I say?

[DJ EFN]

Shit.

[Lil Duval]

Shit.

[DJ EFN]

Blew my mind.

[Sponsor Voice]

Hold on.

[Lil Duval]

Take your time.

[DJ EFN]

You and Charlamagne, how did y' all link up? Because wasn't that on mtv? It's a show on mtv.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, we hooked up off of Ozone Magazine.

[DJ EFN]

Shout out to Julia. Julia Bever. Okay, yeah, yeah, big up to Julia.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. I used to have a column called 10 Things I'm Hating On.

[DJ EFN]

Okay.

[Lil Duval]

And then he had, like, everything I did. I created a own blueprint for comedians. It wasn't like the same traditional route. I went all these other routes, especially through Florida, you know what I'm saying? But I used to do that. And he did another column in there. And I was on MySpace and we linked up. That's how I met him on MySpace. I DMed him on MySpace. And I was like, man, let's do skits. And we flew up to. I flew up to New York and we did a skit with Sirius Jones, the freestyle battle thing. And that went viral. And then, shit, we just kept doing skits and we just Kept being cool, you know, we rocked it. And I remember we always say, I don't want to be a radio nigga, and he don't want to be a comedian. And we stuck it like that to this day. That's where we at with it. You know what I'm saying? But the difference was, media blew up more so then. You know what I'm saying? So it went perfect for his line of work, you know?

[DJ EFN]

So Atlanta, right? Like, Atlanta accepts you. Like, at one point, I actually thought you was from Atlanta. Like, people had to correct me. It was like, nah, bro.

[Lil Duval]

Cause I've been there so long, I've been there since 96, since the Olympics.

[DJ EFN]

But that's hard to get a whole nother city to accept you as that city. How did that happen?

[Lil Duval]

Like, being genuine, being who I am, you know what I'm saying? Like, my reputation speaks for itself at this point. Like, I mean, like you say, atlanta ain't gonna show you no love like that. I mean, they do show love, but at the same time, they ain't just gonna embrace anybody. You gotta step in line. You just can't think. You just finna come to Atlanta and just finna.

[DJ EFN]

Come on.

[Lil Duval]

You gotta get in line. So they watch my progress, and they watch me. I started doing standup in Atlanta, so they saw me grow. So. And I always showed love, and I still show love.

[DJ EFN]

You ever bombed?

[Lil Duval]

Every comedian have, they tell you have it. They lie. You know what I'm saying? That's how you get good.

[DJ EFN]

Okay?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You said boned or bombed?

[J Ski]

Bombed.

[Lil Duval]

Boned.

[DJ EFN]

What the fuck? Hey, man, describe what happened was this.

[Lil Duval]

In the early days, nigga, I tell you the wildest bomb. I bombed when I had the number one song in the country with Smile. Yeah, Smile.

[DJ EFN]

Get the fucking.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And where did you bomb?

[Lil Duval]

Detroit.

[DJ EFN]

Okay?

[Lil Duval]

In Detroit, I bombed. Yeah, they booed the shit out of me. But it was my fault. It wasn't their fault.

[DJ EFN]

You was high.

[Lil Duval]

It was. I was high. I was. This was when I was like, I say I do comedy and music. So I was. I was trying to mist and get the crowd to understand it. Detroit ain't the crowd. Detroit ain't crowd. You do that. And so in my mind, I got the number one song right.

[DJ EFN]

You think you can do anything.

[Lil Duval]

I'm like, nigga, I'm finna get out here and shut this shit down with this music shit. But I forgot, too. I was like, the hottest nigga on the ticket, too. So, you know, you don't have the number one song, but you with Other people that you respect. And you thinking, like, they the number ones. In your mind, you not registering, like, N. They really coming to see you. But so in my mind, like, all I gotta do is just. My bad. Thank you. All I gotta do is just sing this song and bom, bom, bom, right? Man, I was singing this song, I didn't even realize they booed me till I looked on the video. And I seen them motherfuckers in that side corner, they was booing as shit. I was like, oh, them?

[DJ EFN]

N, you didn't know at the time that she was being booed?

[Lil Duval]

I couldn't feel it. Like, you know, I couldn't feel it.

[DJ EFN]

I couldn't feel it.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, it's like, you can. Cause some of the crowd was loving it. But, you know, some of them, like, man, fuck that shit. You know what I'm saying? But like I said, I done been back like six, seven times since then. But it kind of readjusted me. It's like, all right, nigga, you still gotta understand. You still trying to teach the crowd about comedy and music all at once. So I just did that and readjusted some shit, came back and rocked that bitch and been selling. That's one of my biggest markets, actually. Detroit.

[DJ EFN]

Detroit.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. But that's why I love them. Cause they keep it real with you.

[DJ EFN]

You wasn't right that night.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, yeah, it was me. It's always the comedian fall on stage, I believe.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. Well, maybe not now, but in my. For me, I feel like it's always.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Well, you guys are working material sometimes, you know, it might not work.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, See, that's the difference between us and music. Like, our studio is the stage. So y' all see us fail. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

That's crazy.

[Lil Duval]

And the cameras make it worse because they. They looking and critiquing, so they trying to find some shit. So it makes it kind of hard. But it is what it is. You can't complain about it, get with it, or get the fuck on.

[DJ EFN]

What's your favorite place to work on material?

[Lil Duval]

I just sneak it in now. You know what I'm saying? Then two, like, what I'm working on, it's more like entertaining. Like I said, I do music. Comedy. It's like a party for me. And now it's like putting on other people on people that I think funny and making them. Making them great. Cause these motherfuckers funny out here. So it's just giving a platform, which we ain't got that many platforms left. Not just in comedy, just in our culture, you know what I'm saying? So stuff like this is important, you know, so that's why I'm on with it.

[DJ EFN]

You think media is being oversaturated?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, definitely. You took the social out and just kept the media. That's really what it is. That's really all it is. Like we sitting here talking now. That's all we doing is talking.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Even on social media.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, just clips. It's just like, how much can we do with this? We ain't. That's why even with podcasts, this is boring than this. Like, who sits here and watch this shit for four hours?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We want it too.

[Lil Duval]

It's like niggas really do it though, you know? You gotta understand, when the first started, Charlamagne, them told me to do it right. And they been, they keep that. Like he got the whole thing. I watched it grow. It's just like I just can't. If I don't love it, it's just like. Or if I don't see no purpose in it, it's just like wasting time. It's like we just talking to our.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Edge kids, just trying to fill in time.

[Lil Duval]

Fill in time. That's what we doing right now. We just filling in time.

[DJ EFN]

Filling time. Now what's your favorite state to perform at? No matter where you go, it's always a sold out crowd. It's always like turn up at this.

[Lil Duval]

Part of my career kind of everywhere. But I mean like, honestly, this weekend, like it's like this like homecoming here. Especially Miami. Cause I kind of started at Coconut Grove out there.

[DJ EFN]

Oh wow.

[Lil Duval]

You know what I'm saying? Coconut Grove, like it kind of molded me who I am, you know what I'm saying? Cause this is why it kind of molded me. Cause it's so diverse. Like, I don't know if you remember, like there used to be Tuesday night at Coconut Grove. The first show, it was perfect. It was like, it was like the Cubans, the nice black people. But that second show, nigga, it was the hood. It was everybody. And N hated that second. They don't boo you in the second show. They say, get your puss ass off, Cage.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

It was hardcore that.

[Lil Duval]

Get your puss ass off stage. And this was back then. But they used to love me, you know what I'm saying? They always showed me love. So. And Trick used to be in there. That's why Trick, a comedian, low key. He used to be in there all the time watching it. Trick was the first to give me some money. In this game.

[DJ EFN]

Get out of here.

[Lil Duval]

Yep, he's the first person to put me on that. Which one that was. Was it Thug Holiday, that album? I'm on that album. Yeah, I think Thug Holiday. Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

Thug Holliday.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. So, yeah. So Miami. So I guess Florida is like home, right? Houston won my biggest market. Detroit, Chicago, everywhere now. Cause at this point in my career, like everywhere I go, it's like I've been building this over years. So it's like over time, it's like I got a family of people. Like every. It's like every. I'm everybody uncle at this point.

[DJ EFN]

Right.

[Lil Duval]

You'd be surprised how fast you become hump. This shit is crazy. This shit is crazy, nigga.

[DJ EFN]

Well, well. Our show is about giving people their flowers. Giving people where they can smell them. And we wanted to give you your flowers.

[Lil Duval]

Appreciate that, man.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

More than just spilling time.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, Snoop Dogg, I'm gonna put this at Camp Duvall.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, that's right. Snoop Dogg said it's better than the Grammy because it come for him as.

[Lil Duval]

Big it is though. Real talk. It is though. Stuff like this I love more than like, I've never wanted, I've never cared about Oscars and none of that. I've always like. Even when it came to award shows, I wanted to host the Hip Hop Awards and that was my goal and I ended up doing it, you know what I'm saying? So I always cared about our community more than I. Cause I knew that. I'm living proof, like we don't need them. Like we got our own culture, just in hip hop and then just in general. So it's just perfect. Like when I get stuff like this here, this shit matter more to me than everything else. And we gotta understand that too, you know what I'm saying? As a people and treat this just like we treat a Oscar right, you know what I'm saying? They don't give a fuck about it. For real. They just doing it just to do it. But we care about it. I care about it. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

God damn it. Now let me ask you, because are you on the road or just doing spot dates right now?

[Lil Duval]

I'm always on the road. I've been on Comedians. We don't stop touring. We tour non stop all year, every year. You know what I'm saying? This shit don't stop.

[DJ EFN]

Now let me ask you, because you have other comedians which you're gonna bring up in a little while, right? What makes you. Like some people would just do the whole show by themself. What makes you want to put other comedians down with the show?

[Lil Duval]

Well, most of. Well, NASA evolved to that. But when I first started doing it, when I first started doing. When they go on the road, comedian, you just go to a city and hope that the club have the comedians. Well, I never really liked that. I like having a team of people I come from where clicked up. I kind of came up in the hip hop era, where we had entourages and like that there. And in the midst of that, it's friendship and bonding, and I always understood that. So I always wanted to take a crew with me, and it just seemed made most sense. So I always took people that I fucked with. It ain't even about them being funny. It's just genuine people. And that's why I always fuck with J Ski and Kool Aid and people like that. Then I always took them on the road with me, and they just happened to be funnier than a motherfucker. So that's why that was my whole thing of it. And to this day, they still with me. You know what I'm saying? Annie have been a loyal nigga too, until he get this money. And then he might say, you ain't.

[DJ EFN]

Gonna change on your ass. Want to go to some Jack questions?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Oh, I didn't even see his questions.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah, he can't see his questions neither.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he can't see them either. I don't think people know Jack is really blind.

[DJ EFN]

He tripped over here. I be forgetting because he got a ball. He got something there. So I'll be forgetting that he can't see something.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He's blind. Definitely in one eye for sure.

[Lil Duval]

No, he all the way blind. He's all, nigga, when I got in the accident, he came and see. We left him outside. He was waiting on somebody to come get him.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That happened here too, when he was.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he's super blind. For real, 100% blind.

[DJ EFN]

All right, so you know he ain't write these questions.

[Lil Duval]

AI probably did.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And he said that in like a. A PDF. That should look crazy. Hold on.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah, he sent a mad professional, you know, you know he ain't do that shit.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You don't got it pulled up?

[DJ EFN]

Nah, I got the quick time with slime.

[Lil Duval]

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Look how he said this.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, he, he mad professional.

[Lil Duval]

That's AI, that's Jack.

[DJ EFN]

Tpt.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You're the way this is now you know him.

[DJ EFN]

Hey, no, I, I.

[Lil Duval]

Hey, man, I appreciate y' all showing him love too, man.

[DJ EFN]

He's a great guy, man.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, he's a great guy.

[DJ EFN]

He's underrated, man. He's underrated.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah. He's always fun to be.

[Lil Duval]

He's crazy, man.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He crazy as.

[Lil Duval]

All right.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He's saying, he's asking about the Ghost Rider question. Is there a place for Ghost Riders in stand up?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, it's just like music. Like everybody can't, can't perform it. You know what I'm saying? So it's always some people. It ain't just Ghost Riders. It's like somebody giving you a premise or somebody saying, hey, man, you should do this. Oh, man, you ever thought about that? So. Or like, like they be on site. Hey, man, you should add this to it. You know what I'm saying? So that's really all it is.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That's not really ghost writing.

[Lil Duval]

I don't know how else you can ghostwriting. Like, even if somebody wrote all your jokes down, you gotta perform em, right?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Okay.

[Lil Duval]

Like, so I could give you every joke. If you can't perform, can't execute it, right? Execute. And on that stage, you gotta. It ain't like editing online. Like, you really gotta know how to project it. So I don't know how else you gonna ghost, right?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

See, he says the unwritten rule. What's the one joke you saw someone else do that was so good you wish you could steal it?

[Lil Duval]

I mean, people got funny shit. Like, I see shit like, man, that shit funny as hell. Like Mike Epps just did that shit.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, Scarface.

[Lil Duval]

It was Scarface.

[J Ski]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Nicole, you said shit's funny.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, like, when I see like stuff like that inspired me. Cause like. Cause over time, when you've been doing this shit so long, you done seen everything. So it's just like, oh, that's funny. And you can see why they get it. But it don't make you want to get stuff like what I saw Mike Epps do. Yeah, that was funny with scoff. It's like, man, I should have did that. I should have did some shit like that. So it inspire you more so than people taking or whatever you said.

[DJ EFN]

How about people stealing jokes, man?

[Lil Duval]

You'll go crazy worry about people stealing your jokes. If I would have been killed myself by that. Cause I don't think nobody got shit more stolen than me, especially off of social media.

[DJ EFN]

Wow.

[J Ski]

For real?

[Lil Duval]

Like, I haven't had motherfuckers steal tweets and take it over to another site for years and build their whole platform off of it.

[DJ EFN]

Get the out of there.

[Lil Duval]

Ain't nothing you can do. Plenty of people do it. Take tweets and redo it, or take Instagram post and redo the joke. And I had somebody. I had posted somebody the other day when they talking about, you know, they do that Panda trying to do shit to make the women click bait. So one of them did it, and so I repo told him to shut the fuck up. So another nigga hit me up. He was like, man, that nigga stole my shit. No, he said the other nigga who I posted, he was trying to tell me the other nigga stole his shit. And I was just telling like, man, just keep doing what you're doing. Cause you gonna go. That ain't gonna be the first nigga steal your shit, man. So just keep. You ain't gonna be able to stop it, man. You gonna drive yourself crazy.

[DJ EFN]

So how do you deal with that?

[Lil Duval]

I just told you, just keep doing. You. You can't stop it, bro. You ain't gonna stop. That shit was going on before social media.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, it's a part of success.

[Lil Duval]

It's part of success. If anybody's stealing, like, it's. If anybody's stealing from you, really ain't that great. For real. You know what I'm saying? It's like some people do it and they don't even realize they doing. It's just who they look up. It's like people imitate this podcast, you know what I'm saying? They just trying to do what they see work, you know what I'm saying? So you just gotta make sure you just keep it going. So by the time if they do blow up, you done moved on. Right? You don't care what they got going.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You gotta keep evolving.

[DJ EFN]

Has it ever been a time somebody came to a comedy club and, like, sat there for that purpose to, like, steal your.

[Lil Duval]

All them do. These got comedians are just regular motherfuckers that wanna be comedians. They'll come to the show and they look at it and they.

[DJ EFN]

They.

[Lil Duval]

They just studying. Like, that's just what it is. It's just. I don't trip off. It is what it is with me, right? I see it all the time. It's just. Just keep going, bro.

[DJ EFN]

Okay. Okay. Let's bring in J Ski. Let's bring Quick Thomas live. Or you got one more Jack Thriller.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Let's Do One More Jack.

[DJ EFN]

One More Jack Thriller.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He said something about that. Damon Waynes brought up that Robin Williams used to pay people to borrow their jokes. He said, would you ever consider paying young comics to borrow their jokes?

[Lil Duval]

I pay them. I just pay just the support. Like if. Cause you gotta think that's. It's just like writing a song if this is how you make your money. If I feel like it's worth it, I pay. It's just like a skit. If I wanna do a skit.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

It's like having a writer's team.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. Or even just a skit. Or you paying somebody. Or girl in the video, you paying her. So why not pay a comedian? You know what I'm saying? It's the same thing. So if I got where I wanna spend some money, I might as well spend it with somebody I'm fucking with, you know?

[DJ EFN]

What made you change your name from Roland Powell to Little Duvall?

[Lil Duval]

Cause when I first started, especially in Florida, they used to always say, that's Duval, that's Little Duval, That's Duval. Cause I represent. Like, in Florida, we go by counties. It's Duval county, so they used to always represent it. And when I used to do interviews, I sometimes forget to rep it. You know what I'm saying? And I always understood how important it is, especially from where we from. Cause ain't too many people from there. So just hearing Duvall, especially back in the day, like now. It's known now, but back in the day, if you weren't from Florida, you ain't really know what it was. Some people only know it just from my name, you know what I'm saying? So back then, I was like, all right, I'm gonna put it in my name. So whenever they say my name, it's repping my whole city. And it evolved to where now shit. People proud to say it. You know what I'm saying? So it's just paving the way for the next generation.

[DJ EFN]

You ever considered dropping a little off of it?

[Lil Duval]

I'm little nigga.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He has a luggage.

[Lil Duval]

I'm damn near 50 and still saying the same weight that I was when I was 18.

[DJ EFN]

You don't gain weight for nothing.

[Lil Duval]

I ain't finna gain weight. I ain't gotta run no. No marathon. And I eat whatever the I want.

[DJ EFN]

Fact, I know Wayne dropped. I think he dropped his name. He's just Wayne now. I think everyone is doing that.

[Lil Duval]

Wow. I don't care. It don't bother me.

[DJ EFN]

And what do you feel about TI Doing comedy?

[Lil Duval]

I think it's therapeutic for that nigga. He do it for therapeutic reasons.

[DJ EFN]

You seen what happened to him in Brooklyn. They booed the shit out of Zach.

[Lil Duval]

And that was the worst thing y' all did. Cause now he ain't gonna never stop. Cause now he finna pull out.

[DJ EFN]

You saying that that put more battery in the back.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, like, that's gonna. Like.

[DJ EFN]

I ain't gonna lie. It wasn't the crowd. It wasn't like sometimes see and see.

[Lil Duval]

Like I said before, some comedy, it takes time, right? And that's why you gotta respect somebody. Like tips. His biggest tip is. And people don't respect.

[DJ EFN]

You don't have to do that.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, dog, this nigga be in regular bars still doing stand up. And that's where a lot of these. And then you look at these social media that won't even do that right. And he doing what he ain't got to do, right? And he doing this shit. And he been doing it for about five years now. People don't even realize that.

[DJ EFN]

Wow, five years.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. But what's gonna happen over time? 15, 20 years, y' all gonna grow to like it. And y' all gonna be knowing I.

[DJ EFN]

Fuck with him anyway, so.

[Lil Duval]

But I'm just saying, like, people don't understand. It's just. You gotta think, especially niggas we like to critique. And the first thing we do is just naturally hate, whether we wanna accept it or not. Just naturally hate.

[DJ EFN]

In his defense, that was a Brooklyn rough crowd.

[Lil Duval]

I mean, Brooklyn is one of them crowds, too. You know what I'm saying? Especially you gotta think it's in the viral moment. Everybody wanna get their clit on. They're like, oh, yeah, I'm finna post this. I'm finna post this and say, look at them. Boo, boo, boo, boo. So. So it comes with. But at the same time, that didn't stop that.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah. Oh, he kept going. He stopped performing. I thought he said stop performing. He's talking about rap. He's not performing rap no more.

[Lil Duval]

That back rapping TV was just at live.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lil Duval]

And then he put the hat on the side.

[DJ EFN]

He had that little ball.

[Lil Duval]

And that was AI.

[DJ EFN]

That was AI.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, that was AI, but he cut.

[DJ EFN]

His hair after that.

[Lil Duval]

Y' all niggas believe everything.

[DJ EFN]

I told him to come here.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he told me. Tell y' all what.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah, I supposed doing this morning. But you. Do you think it's going to be more like that, you think?

[Lil Duval]

I think everybody. Everybody think they can do it.

[DJ EFN]

You see Mr. Fab, he doing stand up. Yeah, he doing stand up now, dog.

[Lil Duval]

Stand up. Everybody want to do it. Everybody been practicing, studying. Everybody Know what I tell y'?

[DJ EFN]

All?

[Lil Duval]

Every time I see somebody, they do stand up, they try to do stand up, right? And then next thing you know, they doing standup.

[DJ EFN]

Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?

[Lil Duval]

It don't. I don't give a what they do. It don't stop what I'm doing. I like it. Like when I saw. I like it. I do. Like when I saw Wallow do it, I was like. Cause it's perfect for him.

[DJ EFN]

Wait, Wallow?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he doing stand up.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, J.L. wallow.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, J.L. wallow.

[DJ EFN]

What the fuck? Where have I been at?

[Lil Duval]

You finna start doing it? I'm gonna do some stand up. Kid Cuddy doing it now.

[DJ EFN]

Get outta here.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, Kid Cudi. Didn't he say he just tried to do it? Yeah, Kid Cudi do it. But I think Wallow would be good at it. Cause simply. Cause he know how to speak and he's comfortable on speak.

[DJ EFN]

He's not afraid to make himself a part of the joke. That's why him and Gilly work. He's like afraid to be a part of it.

[Lil Duval]

They know his character, you know what I'm saying? So he just got to put in the time and understand how to mesh his comedy with his speaking. It'll be perfect.

[DJ EFN]

Now you how about producing movies? What are you.

[Lil Duval]

I just produced a movie with Swirl film. A man over there, Eric, called Camp Duval. You know, I bought that retreat and I shot a movie and I put all my folks in. You know what I'm saying? Most niggas get rich, get broke. What he say? What Tim say? I mean, not tip. What Trick say? Most niggas get rich, get ghosts. I went out and got jokes and united my folks. That's what I did. And that's what I did, nigga. So I put all my people on instead of complaining about how the industry is fucked up. It's hard for ain't no Hollywood. We create our own Hollywood. We got enough people in our infrastructure.

[DJ EFN]

Adam Sandler do that shit.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he been doing it. We all can do it now. We just don't understand we can do it. So. So I just. Instead of talking about it, just do it. And we did it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and it's a good movie too. Like when I was watching what's the.

[DJ EFN]

Name of it again?

[Lil Duval]

Camp Duval. It's a horror.

[DJ EFN]

Okay.

[Lil Duval]

You know what I'm Saying, wait, wait.

[DJ EFN]

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

It's a straight horror.

[DJ EFN]

When you said Camp Duval, I'm gonna say, is Jason whore. He's dead.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. What. How I say that part of but. Well, I mean, it's just. It's a horror film, but you got comedians in it, you know what I'm saying? Like. Like what I understood for me, from what I love about comedy, like, say, for instance, like, Friday. Friday was really just a story with funny people in it. You know what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't like a standard story. It's a standard story, basic story, but you just had comedians in it.

[DJ EFN]

So that's Friday one, right?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, Friday one. But it was the biggest classic of it all, you know what I'm saying? How Pooh done wrote it. He wrote it and then just put funny motherfuckers in it. So I just kind of took the same recipe. It's like, shit, I'm just making. And I love horror films. Like, shit, I just put some niggas that I know funny and shit. We just did it like that and it came out. I was surprised when I was looking at it. I was proud of myself. Like, shit, I really made a movie out this bitch. So I can't wait to drop that bitch. I'm dropping it this year.

[Lil Duval]

Your ass don't be.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

When you came, he was drunk.

[DJ EFN]

That's how you came.

[Lil Duval]

That was in his younger years. That was his younger days.

[J Ski]

That don't believe n. I'll be drinking.

[DJ EFN]

I'll be drinking. So. But you got to answer the question. Lil baby or Young Thug.

[Lil Duval]

Damn. Musically I like Lil Baby. I'mma go with Lil Baby.

[DJ EFN]

Okay.

[Lil Duval]

I with Young Thug too though.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Damon Waynes or Eddie Griffin.

[DJ EFN]

Or Eddie Griffin.

[Lil Duval]

Damon Wayans is a goat too. Eddie Griffin because he's still at it. Eddie Griffin. No, I'm going to say Eddie Griffin because he's still at it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We need Eddie over here too.

[Lil Duval]

Eddie's a real goat. People just don't understand because like I say, comedy has evolved, but.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Nah, he funny as shit.

[Lil Duval]

He's really the truth.

[DJ EFN]

I snuck in a club one time and seen him tear Vegas down.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, he is true. If you really like old school comedy, eat the coat at it.

[DJ EFN]

Okay. Strip clubs or regular clubs?

[J Ski]

I know I ain't drinking on this.

[DJ EFN]

I made that one up.

[Lil Duval]

Strip club.

[J Ski]

Naked bitches, a business with clothes.

[Lil Duval]

Who wants to go to a regular club?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He might ruin regular club.

[Lil Duval]

They ruin regular clubs, especially in Florida.

[DJ EFN]

Bernie Mack or Red Fox.

[Lil Duval]

Okay, O, that's a. That's both. But I, I look up to Red Fox. Like I like how his shit evolved. Like old school, old nigga still up there just talking. I like that. So I'm going go with Red Fox.

[DJ EFN]

You think Red Fox could have survived in this time or they, he, they canceled him a long time?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, I think he would have killed it right now.

[Lil Duval]

No, you don't think.

[DJ EFN]

I think they would have canceled him.

[Lil Duval]

He could have did what he wanted to do, but he wouldn't have got no sponsorships.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, yeah, he would have done the Red Fox show. He tamed himself in that show.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. And even back then they had problems too. But it was way more like now.

[DJ EFN]

Like rest in peace, poor Mooney had no sponsorship. Yeah, yeah. Delegation.

[Lil Duval]

I already know what my lane I know certain I'm not gonna get, but I, I've committed to that. If he committed that then. But I don't think he would have been as big like he was for what he's for. And they, he had problems back then too. So I don't like to compare different eras, cuz they had. They was getting canceled back then too.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

For they had to deal with.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, right.

[DJ EFN]

Who'd you pick? You picked Miami.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, back in every club between 90 to 2000.

[Lil Duval]

I'm trying to think where I remembered you from in one of them clubs.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I mean think about any, any club on South Beach. Any club before there was hip hop clubs on the beach, underground. The warehouse parties ain't.

[Lil Duval]

It's crazy how this done evolved. Like we were just talking how we was riding through this here.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, this Was. This was the hood.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, this is where all the hip.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Hop shit used to happen back in the day.

[Lil Duval]

Man, this is crazy how. How Miami just changed. Ain't this. Man, this is.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Nobody hang out in south beach no more.

[Lil Duval]

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

There's a fly. You see me irie. Outkast was the open. I mean, the main act. And then Rick Ross was the opening up.

[Lil Duval]

[DJ EFN]

But y' all went to a family reunion or something.

[Lil Duval]

How did we find out? Yeah, no, he found out. Cause I got a place in the Bahamas and so I always rep my people. I'm really from.

[DJ EFN]

Okay, hold up. Where we at? Okay. George Carlin or Robin Williams?

[J Ski]

Oh, George Carlin's the truth.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But Robin Williams is one of my favorites too. Robin Williams, though, man, his acting ability was crazy.

[Lil Duval]

Well, while we talking about stand up, whichever you want. That's a perfect example of, like, the difference between standup and like, Robin Williams. He was a. He was a stand up. But we know him. Y' all love him for movies. Movies. But the way y' all translate y' all head. He's still a comedian.

[DJ EFN]

Right, Right.

[Lil Duval]

But you never seen none of his standup.

[DJ EFN]

I did see a stand up one time he said stand up was before my. He was talking about marathon is like doing cocaine. That's. That's why I remember that. So I was like really?

[Lil Duval]

I don't think you should leave that shit alone. I think you should leave shit how it is. But every people want the same shit. They just want it packaged different. So and that's what we are doing that in social media. Everybody do skits. That's nothing but living color. What Drew did, that's in living color. You know what I'm saying? So it's happening. It's just we keep thinking the old way, but we're programmed. Our bodies tell us we like this shit. So it's here. We just don't want to accept it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah.

[J Ski]

Well, he didn't reach out to me. Can't be all up.

[Lil Duval]

That's cool if he wants to be ready for that. That's cool if he want to do it. But he probably gonna do it to where it's just saying that for old people that like it, but at the same time, he gonna make it to where it's for this generation.

[DJ EFN]

And Eddie's still alive. Eddie could come in and coach, right?

[Lil Duval]

And you know, some people Be like, man, y' all be on a jet. No, that's not a jet.

[Lil Duval]

But it's the same size. Size is a sensor jet that got. That got propeller. The cabin is bigger than a L jet. My Cal is bigger than the lair jet he has. And I trust my plane better than most of them jets y' all be renting. Hold up.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But you fly from jville to Miami.

[Lil Duval]

He has propellers who cross the country.

[J Ski]

In my city he got propellers.

[Lil Duval]

California to the west coast. I've been flying for eight. What it been, eight years, nine years.

[J Ski]

On a propeller plane what Propellers.

[Lil Duval]

Yo, see that's. See, but see that's the. But see that's the real reason why I do it for real. Because we ignorant to what. What it is. Cuz most. Most of these rich white folks, they got all these planes. I'm talking about like the only people that be on. They got no planes for like us. They make money off like us. And they being smaller planes. It don't make sense to have them big jets situation we talk about real. Then you go into it. I'm teaching us game like this drunk.

[DJ EFN]

Give it a little shot.

[Lil Duval]

Ah, damn. I can't understand.

[J Ski]

I'm saying.

[Lil Duval]

No, no, no, never mind, never mind, never mind. I don't want to talk about it. I just up the whole. We trying to educate our people, bro. It's too late now. We just up. Hold up.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Is it a double propeller or is it a double. What the. Oh, yeah.

[J Ski]

I'm gonna say what he was trying to say.

[Lil Duval]

Why you gonna tell them where I fly? He asking questions. Then let me tell you, whatever. No, no.

[DJ EFN]

Is it a single propeller or double propeller?

[Lil Duval]

I got only reason. I got only reason. I got two propellers. Cuz I fly over water, okay? So it's safer. So if one go out, I can still fly, right? You know what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

But you just sit them up. One go.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, you still got. You can still fly wings though, right? Yeah, you can still fly propellers go up.

[DJ EFN]

That one propeller was.

[Lil Duval]

You see how they didn't understand. That's what I'm saying. That's not crazy.

[DJ EFN]

You don't panic. You don't panic.

[Lil Duval]

But that's why. That's why I do stuff like this here to give us understanding. And that way we get more into it. And a lot of people, you know, I'm like, right now I can show you my annual for my plane.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Rich, don't worry.

[Lil Duval]

All right? This, this, this my bill right now for my. For my little plane. I got you this an annual is like a tune up every year you gotta get done. This year it came up the rental of the hangar. No, no, that ain't even in that. It's just the tune up to make sure everything's straight. The maintenance, right. This one here was 37,250.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Imagine how much he saves if he's flying all the time.

[Lil Duval]

No, that's real actually. It's kind of weighs in itself. It depends on if I fly with all them. That's when it's makes sense, okay? You know what I'm saying? But sometimes it's. It's just if you buy yourself, you. Yeah, it don't make sense like sometimes.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What's the point of having 3 then?

[Lil Duval]

Cuz it's like a cause you like kind of like cause you guys. But then too this what happened. No, this what happened was I had got the first plane, I liked it. And then my, my girl at the time, she was complaining about how small it was. So I got a bigger plan.

[DJ EFN]

That's what she said.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What kind of girl is this?

[Lil Duval]

She said this, she complain about the plane? Yeah, she ain't with me now, that's why she ain't with me. But it kind of make you think about, it's like, you know what, I could, you know, get a little more room. And then you start seeing like this cabin is big as a Learjet or bigger than a Learjet. So I can get the Cessna 421 and then blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's why I got that one. So, and then I got the seaplane. Cause I just wanted to land on water.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Oh, that's pretty ill. That is pretty dope. I have a question though. You can land almost anywhere or it.

[Lil Duval]

Has to anywhere with water. I mean, the water gotta be cool.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Calm, you know, be certain ports for you to land on no water.

[Lil Duval]

Like you got se plan. You can land on water anywhere. I'm saying anywhere, anywhere. For me, I need like 500ft to take off, you know what I'm saying? So if I got like just 500ft for that little plane, I could take off anyway.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You ain't landing in a lake or nothing like that.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, that's where I most land, in a lake too. Hell yeah. I got video of me landing.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He landed in your pool.

[Lil Duval]

Land in my pool? No, you, I be in your pool. Not that big. Okay, I probably land in Rick pool. Yeah, but. Yeah, yeah, that's what.

[DJ EFN]

Now say it in English.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You're gonna land next to the Dominican Republic.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, but man, some mama huancha. But I gotta do stuff like that because I want more pilots and. And over social media. That's why I teach them and more. More. I see more people that look like us becoming pilots. Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

You go to pilot school?

[Lil Duval]

Yes. Get your hours and stuff like that. You fly your own plane?

[DJ EFN]

Damn.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We just had.

[Lil Duval]

No, no, no. Hold on. This what I've been going through my whole career, especially with Florida. We so far behind. I've been trying to teach, but we so slow.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, we just got to translate it for him.

[Lil Duval]

I got you. That understood everything else. That shit don't go out for Florida mother Dominican Republic.

[DJ EFN]

You good.

[Lil Duval]

They. They know what we saying.

[DJ EFN]

You want to go to another jack question?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We ran out of jack questions.

[DJ EFN]

A couple of minutes and then we wrap. You want another shot?

[J Ski]

Yeah, definitely. I definitely another one. I definitely want another one.

[DJ EFN]

We're gonna do that.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Not expecting it. Love it.

[Lil Duval]

Really?

[DJ EFN]

What? That's dope.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Just want to Favorite movies.

[DJ EFN]

Traded places with Eddie Murphy. Yeah.

[Lil Duval]

Oh yeah. That hard.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I remember coming to America. He saw the old. The old men again. Yeah, yeah. That was crazy. They were homeless.

[DJ EFN]

When he. When he robbed them blind. Who the best stand up comedian of all time?

[Lil Duval]

It ain't no. It's subjective. That's like. Yeah, you can't.

[DJ EFN]

Subjective. Subjectively.

[Lil Duval]

I don't have no subjective because everybody give a piece. I find something in everything and I don't think no comedian should say who they think because that's like judging. That's for people to judge. You know what I'm saying? Comedy is subjective. Like what you might think fun. What he might think fun. Just like music, you can't compare art. You can do that in sports and that's what's. Fuck. I think that's probably one of the main problems in that thing. We do too much critiquing on art and there's really no critiquing in it. With sports you can. Cause there's a win or lose. Like what you might think the best rapper like live for whatever reason might be what you want.

[DJ EFN]

So you don't think in comedy in.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

A club though it's kind of collective laughter that makes it funny in some.

[Lil Duval]

Class collective in that group. But then in some audience they might not get whatever the same demographic. Like if I come down here, like I come down here, I could tell Haitian jokes all day. It's going real. I do it in Jacksonville. We don't really give a about it. Like see what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

Haitians in Jacksonville.

[Lil Duval]

We do but it's not as big as pretty. Like, it's really.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

They got Bohemians over there.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, Bahamians. How about to correct you? Bohemians.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Bahamians.

[Lil Duval]

So, I mean, it's just like there's anybody. I don't think. No, thank you. Just my opinion. I don't think no comedian should say who. You can shout out who you like, but saying who you don't like, you just hating. Cause that's right. Ain't no reason to say who you don't like.

[DJ EFN]

You still be deep sea diving?

[Lil Duval]

I haven't in a while, man. I do everything for us, man. What I do is because I.

[DJ EFN]

You like the Crocodile Dundee real talk.

[Lil Duval]

Cause I understood a long time ago. I understood a long time ago that people don't listen. They follow. So I just understood. I just give Nick shit to follow. And y' all gonna follow me. And that's what y' all do. Y' all just follow whatever I do. But I follow it in a way to make it for y' all for us. You know what I'm saying? To where you gonna enjoy it? You gonna get more out of following me than I'm gonna get out of you following me. You get what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

You going deep sea diving.

[Lil Duval]

He went with.

[J Ski]

I done went school down with him one time, but I told him I'm ready to go with the shocks.

[Lil Duval]

Oh, I just went with sharks, too.

[AGN (Female Comedian)]

Wait a minute.

[DJ EFN]

Wait.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

In a cage or free?

[Lil Duval]

Both. I done it all. I got. I got. I swim with great white. I swim with. With whale sharks. I got a picture I done sent with hammerheads. Yeah, Hammerheads, tiger sharks. I got video.

[DJ EFN]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's how you know you. That you some crocodile done D.C. you heard? You see what he just said? He's like, you know, hammerheads, like, what the is. What do you mean? Hammerhead is nothing. Alligators.

[Lil Duval]

This was in Bahamas.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Look at you. You up, man.

[DJ EFN]

So hammer has no bite.

[Lil Duval]

Human.

[DJ EFN]

Come on. Why you say I want to be in chicken nugget?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I don't even know how to swim.

[Lil Duval]

Just in case you want to see video of me swimming down there?

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, send us that.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Like a mermaid, man.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, that's a woman.

[Lil Duval]

That's another woman out of here.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What?

[DJ EFN]

That woman there.

[Lil Duval]

This being the case with the great white. That's me in the cage.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Why you got in the cage, though? Where's that at?

[Lil Duval]

That was in South America. I mean, South Africa.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah. Cool.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Oh, yeah.

[Lil Duval]

But that's how they do it though, over there. You know what I'm saying. But I. I swimmed without them in. In Mexico in the great. With the great white. With the great white. But sharks don't really be.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Wait, wait, but what preparation do you have before you do that?

[Lil Duval]

What you mean?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Like I'm saying, do you prepare?

[Lil Duval]

I go with people that know what they doing.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Psychology. Like, yo, I know what they're doing.

[Lil Duval]

No, I go with people that know what they doing. Like, I'm not gonna be the first to do.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You'll be like, yeah, great white.

[Lil Duval]

Bam.

[DJ EFN]

I'm in.

[Lil Duval]

But I mean, I got. I kind of got a good. Better understanding of sharks just from being around. I realized they not really giving a. About us like that.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But you ain't jumping in the water with nobody that has a mess.

[Lil Duval]

It be sharks in my backyard in.

[DJ EFN]

Camp Duvo, not in the Bahamas. Okay?

[Lil Duval]

I got shark bag. Look at this. I got stingrays. I got all. That's my pets in my backyard. Bahamas. I got shots. We did troll. Me and Johnny, we did troll and said we had lobsters in. In my lake in. In Camp Duval.

[DJ EFN]

Who? Tv, Johnny.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, we. He came to Camp Duval.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah. Let me tell you something.

[Lil Duval]

That's what. We should have shot this.

[DJ EFN]

Let me tell you something. I. I had went to Watts or.

[Lil Duval]

Some of them came out there.

[DJ EFN]

I was. Yeah, I know. I saw that. I was with tb, Johnny, and I was getting something. But before I went there, I had went to Watts and I thought, like, I had did something ill. And I was like, yo, I just came back from Watts, yo. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm an east coast dude. Like, we ain't working like that. And they open harmony. And he goes, so what is that? I said, that's like the hood. He goes, that's no hood. I go, what? He go, I'm from Vietnam. They eat my dog. So I was like, all right. I know. I was like, yo, I know. I was like, yo, I know this might be some, like, language translation bullshit. So, like, what do you mean they ate your dog? He said, no, I go to the store. I come out, they. They ate his dog and his dog. Like, he.

[Lil Duval]

He.

[DJ EFN]

He. He put his dog, like, to eat it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

They didn't eat it right there?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, no, he ate his own sandwich. This is what he said to me. They gave him a sandwich. Johnny need to tell a story for. He got a good story. Like, Johnny really came from nothing.

[DJ EFN]

No, no, no. Vietnam.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Like the leash and the leash. Just me.

[DJ EFN]

No, no, no, no.

[Lil Duval]

It was illegal. Like, he was telling Me a story about. He said somebody went to America and he came back and they asked him about me. He said they have fans on their roof and they locked them up for saying that. Cause they didn't want people believe that. No, no, that's where he.

[DJ EFN]

Say that again. Say that again.

[Lil Duval]

Like they don't want. Like they don't want communist country. It's still a communist country. Like, I don't know if it is right now, but when he was coming up, they had to sneak out of there and they get locked up and all that shit there. So he really came from nothing. And I fuck with him. Just how loyal he been with me for over. Not just he done got a lot of my fucking money, but he got me too. But he always showed me love. Like, I remember when I. I was at the Improv in Houston one time and I used to sell shirts. Afterwards, that nigga sat there and sold all them shirts with me. You know what I'm saying? So from then on, I was like, you know what? I fuck with it. And he have to, you know what I'm saying? Cause he already got money from me. Cause I had bought something from him, so he didn't have to do it and shit. But he always did. So that there, like I said, I pay attention to people that's loyal, do shit that ain't gotta do it. You know what I'm saying? It ain't how you treat me, it's how you treat other people and shit like that. And that's why he's still here, you know what I'm saying? Cause shit, there's a lot of jewelers came and went.

[DJ EFN]

Big up TV Johnny, man, you know.

[Lil Duval]

He don't even go by TV Johnny no more, huh? He don't even go. He goes, johnny Dang. We know him cause we old as. As far, but they don't know name. Johnny D. Johnny D. Johnny Dang.

[DJ EFN]

Listen, every time I see Wesley Snipes, that still Nino Brown.

[Lil Duval]

Nino Brown. I'm sorry, man.

[DJ EFN]

You can't outgrow that, man. Certain. You just can't outgrow, man.

[Lil Duval]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ EFN]

One more question. Who are winning the fight between you and Shaq?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Damn.

[Lil Duval]

Well, y' all got the worst. How y' all stayed on this long with these type of questions?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Cuz the questions are basic.

[DJ EFN]

People like idiots. Just like this.

[Lil Duval]

Like you, right? People like simple. That's why that show you how bored people is in life.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Jesus, man, come on.

[Lil Duval]

No, people don't have nothing to do.

[DJ EFN]

Most of the time.

[Lil Duval]

If you think we all idle most.

[DJ EFN]

Of our lives, you know, most losers.

[Lil Duval]

Most losers. Not even losers. I'm just saying most humans are idle most of our life imaginating so social media gave us time to just sit and watch other people. You know what I'm saying? So that's why we got really.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We want to see how faulty people are just like us. That's really what we.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah.

[Lil Duval]

You're trying to out figure find you trying to find some identity.

[J Ski]

Alcohol on top of that.

[DJ EFN]

With alcohol on top of that, you make some noise for that.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, make some noise.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We can stop that.

[Lil Duval]

Everybody's trauma bonding. Everybody trauma bonding.

[DJ EFN]

So if you got a good shot on Shaq, you think you knock him.

[Lil Duval]

Out like a shot.

[DJ EFN]

Like a shot. Boom. Like, like, like.

[Lil Duval]

No, I can't reach his Joe. Damn the fuck.

[DJ EFN]

I didn't look at it like that.

[Lil Duval]

I can't reach his Joe.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

If he had a trampoline, then you.

[Lil Duval]

No, I'm. I'm. I got to shoot a nigga that size, man.

[DJ EFN]

Forgot that part.

[Lil Duval]

Whoever invented the gun had to be a little. Even this out. Like, what the. I look like real talk like what I look like?

[DJ EFN]

So I got you.

[Lil Duval]

I'm definitely. I might need a bigger fat. But a solid like that over six. Now you gotta get shot. I'm not doing that. Watch out. No, you can't fight. No. That big taking my side. You can, but I ain't on that. I'm too old. Cause I'm not shooting. Cause I'm hard. I'm shooting cause I'm scared.

[DJ EFN]

How about Kevin Hart in the foot race?

[Lil Duval]

What the. That nigga exercise, bro.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, that's right.

[Lil Duval]

Let me exercise.

[DJ EFN]

Ain't no smoke.

[Lil Duval]

He got it. He got it.

[DJ EFN]

Okay.

[Lil Duval]

All right.

[DJ EFN]

Anything else y' all want to say before we wrap it up?

[J Ski]

I just want to say.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, we good, man. That nigga doing his thing, man. Put that mic. Watch him on the we the ones watch him on the we tour.

[J Ski]

Yeah, I got watch we. I watch y show all the time.

[Lil Duval]

I do. All the time.

[DJ EFN]

Yes, man. We going to have you on here, Doo. Yes.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And he going to drink, I promise.

[J Ski]

Cornering.

[DJ EFN]

You.

[J Ski]

Always had, Tim. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

[Lil Duval]

Drink.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He.

[Lil Duval]

You thought sharing the shop Drink.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, no, I drink. I drink. I just got. I got to relax sometimes, you know? You know what I'm saying?

[Lil Duval]

Wait, so you say it's Shannon Drake, but they can't say nigga for now. Hold on. Everything is Contradicted. But I'm not saying that's why I say, nigga, how it is? Because everything is contradicted. We all full of shit. We all contradict ourselves in lives, you know what I'm saying? So you can't fault somebody whenever they be like you just ain't. You just at that point in your life right now, it's on your own spiritual journey to make yourself feel better. Do what you do. But I ain't gonna stop what I'm doing.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I'm saying just be a good motherfucker, be a good person.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, of course.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Be good to people.

[Lil Duval]

It's really that simple, bro.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But it really is simple, man.

[Lil Duval]

We've all programmed, we so programmed to chase money. It kind of smokes our brains out to doing what we supposed to do. But like I say, I try to move with how I move to try to instill in everybody else. Cause when it's just like if you at the drive through restaurant, you pay for somebody food behind them, then they go up there, you be like, you know what? I'm gonna pay for the nigga behind. So it's the same thing. It's the butterfly.

[DJ EFN]

You think that shit really happens?

[Lil Duval]

They do. Because it makes these type of motherfuckers, they real motherfucker trinkles down. It makes them want to help other motherfuckers. And all the comedians that came up after me, they all help each other out. You know what I'm saying? Like before that, comedians was assholes. That's why you saw all them niggas beefing with each other. The comedians, me and after, you don't see them do that. Cause they watched niggas like me and the other motherfuckers, they saw it and now they do it now by itself. They all together, they all look out for each other and they do they dope and they loyal to each other. That wasn't happening back in the day.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

It wasn't public. It wasn't public.

You know, it was crazy.

[Lil Duval]

But I. I was doing it.

[DJ EFN]

I realized how important comedy was during COVID Like, I always knew comedy as being important, but I mean, like, would just stay at home and just.

[Lil Duval]

Everybody was just in their own world. Like, I was able to make so much money where y' all wasn't paying no attention, but it's just. And I liked it like that because it kept me with a bunch of other niggas that just want to do standup now. I can still eat off that shit.

[J Ski]

Dude already saved, nigga. Like, he saved his friends. Like, he saved.

[Lil Duval]

It ain't just saving. Just seeing somebody that you. That you. You fuck with, you fuck with. And you want them to. Cause you gotta think, well, we. Especially in Florida, bro. Like, we ain't got too many avenues out this bitch. We kind of built that avenue through our generation, through our age group. Cause before that, it wasn't too much besides Luke. You know what I'm saying? So we besides Luke.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But that's what EFM is.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah. So we build this shit and we try to compare it to other people race. But we in our own race. And we came a long way in the last 20. They didn't know what Duvall was at first. Now they saying it's a household name all over the world now. So it just shows how overtime just in Jacksonville and just how Miami done evolved with everybody from Cali Rails Trick to Major nine Pit Bull. Man, Pitbull is like a shit. That's a real story. Like, I remember we was on Memorial Weekend. We just said that he used to pass flyers out with Pitt's the Real Trick, man. I mean, up a trick for Lucas. I mean, we were sitting in one club on South Beach. It might have been one that you were DJing at. He was like, man. Huh? Crazy. I'm not sure. It was so long ago. This was about 20 years ago. I mean, there's so many years, so many ago.

[DJ EFN]

He was signing Luke earlier.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, yeah. And he was just like, man. He's like, man, we gonna be next. He kept saying, like, he's like, you gonna kill the comedy. I'm gonna kill with the rap. And so just to see people. That's why I don't understand what people say. They want you to. They want you to do good, but not bad. I never understood that. Cause how can we win? Like, I feel like if. If he come up I'm good for life, right? Cause like I like, it's just. That's how we win. Like it's just as simple. Like if you watch any other culture, community, that's what they do. And we trying to jump in they world. Why, right? Cause we got our own world. We just gotta stay on our pace. We might not get them billions in our generation, but we gonna get into the next one. Cause that's what they did, they sacrificed on that. It ain't even sacrifice' cause we living good. We just gotta infrastructure and keep it going.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And we gotta pass down the knowledge. And we are passing as OGs, we gotta keep passing it down.

[Lil Duval]

But we do it in actions, you know what I'm saying? Like our generation ain't know about planes. They got people like me to see now, I ain't talking about jets, but you know, like, shit, I can go get me a plane. You know what I'm saying? And so it's just John Travolta over here. Yeah. So it just makes you. Cause you are what you see. And if you don't see somebody that look like you. Right, right, you ain't gonna do it. So that's why I try to do certain shit and implement special influence Florida. Because we ain't got too many. Like, so we got to put each.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Other on honorable mention. Dead president from Tallahassee, Florida as well.

[Lil Duval]

Dead prayers. Oh yeah, dead prayers. I just looked at a picture throwback with them from 20 years ago in New York at BBQs.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, wow.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, it was at BBQs.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Shout out to plies as well. Like Florida got so much talent, man.

[Lil Duval]

Like, and we all. And the funny thing about it, we all, all, we all stick to ourselves, but we all with each other, you know what I'm saying? It's like we don't try to jump each other away. I don't know if that's just a personal ego.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Did you ever used to go to TJ's DJs?

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, it was regulars there at the Moon. All the hip hop shit he came.

[DJ EFN]

From, you can't tell them nothing. You gotta be quiet.

[Lil Duval]

Everything you see, man, it's damn near what we've been doing. All the ghetto, it come from Florida.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And all Atlanta used to come to TJ's DJ.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, everything.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And Banner and T Pain and everything.

[Lil Duval]

In ozone when they did the war. And I used to host that too, you know what I'm saying? So all that little there, that's why I say I didn't go the route that Most comedians went, I went. I created my own route because we didn't have all this. So all I. I had was hip hop. So we was all at the same time. So we all came. And I was one of the only comedians I might be. Me, Marvin Dixon.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Marvin Dixon.

[Lil Duval]

Who else? Larry Dog.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Larry Dog.

[Lil Duval]

Larry Dog. Who else from here? I mean, this all Florida. It's only about three of us. And that's in 40 years.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And that's whack.

[Lil Duval]

You see what I'm saying? So when you see somebody like that, that's why I put somebody like that on. That's just. But I try to do it in everything, not just in comedy. I do it in everything I move. I got people that look up to me just like y' all say scuba diving, you know what I'm saying? Or something in general, just. It's bigger than just the entertainment part. You don't have to. But scuba diver opened my mind up for real. It made me realize how much I didn't know, you know what I'm saying? Cause you realize like, damn, I'm really dumb, you know what I'm saying? Because you don't realize how much a whole world underwater. Yeah, it's a whole world underwater. So if it's that much you, you don't know, just imagine how much other shit you don't know. So you realize we all ignorant and don't know too much as we think. Anybody tell you they know shit, they full of shit.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And then we fight over bullshit.

[Lil Duval]

Fighting over shit. It's really. We fight over money. Cause niggas ain't got no money. So they just scrambling, especially our age. And these niggas ain't got no money.

[DJ EFN]

So this is the last question, all right?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

You bohemian.

[DJ EFN]

Last question, right? Like you doing like being a comedian doing music and rappers doing comedians. Do you think comedians should do music as well?

[Lil Duval]

I think it's all in one.

[DJ EFN]

All on the individual.

[Lil Duval]

When you think of back in the day, that's what it always been. And then the 80s, it kind of started that genre shit. But back in the day, Sammy Davis Jr. And all them, when you go to them Vegas shows, they did everything.

[DJ EFN]

They did stand ups.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, they did, they did everything.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

They did skits.

[Lil Duval]

Sammy Davis was stand up and it just came back. It just started coming back over time. What. What young person under my age that don't do everything?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But you got to be.

[Lil Duval]

That's the entertainer. Entertainer who don't do everything.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That's a true entertainer, though.

[Lil Duval]

That's a true entertainer. Because you do, but you don't nowadays. I mean, some people getting off is going to be hard. I mean a lot of them ain't flop. You know what I'm saying?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Well, it's like he said, like it's subjective too, but it's so I think it's. It's much harder to be a comedian. Comedian than a rapper.

[Lil Duval]

I mean.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know.

[Lil Duval]

It's definitely ain't nothing harder than stand up.

[J Ski]

It is.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I mean, I don't know if you Google words though. If you google come out easy.

[Lil Duval]

I don't know.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I don't think you could make it that easy and take a mic and make people laugh.

[Lil Duval]

Is boxing all right?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

So could a stand up. Could a stand up be as prolific as an mc, as a Nas, as a Kendrick? Unless you have that talent.

[J Ski]

A great one could be.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Got the talent yet?

[J Ski]

I would say better.

[Lil Duval]

What did.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Well, I'm asking you what's. Which comedian transferred over?

[Lil Duval]

George. George Carlin. What you saying? What you saying?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What comedian trans could become a. An mc like a Kendrick, A rock him.

[J Ski]

Well, comedian say the same thing.

[Lil Duval]

I did. I went number one. Hold on, hold on, hold. On, on. Hold on.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Let's say this.

[Lil Duval]

He did that. Number one.

[J Ski]

But what singer a rapper has did the reverse?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

He did.

[DJ EFN]

There's no rapper that did the right.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, he. But I'm not talking about rappers.

[Lil Duval]

Hold on.

[J Ski]

This singer, whoever.

[Lil Duval]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about an mc.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

An mc. A lyrical mc. Not a rapper, not a songwriter, not a song.

[J Ski]

What's the question?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

What, what comedian was able to transfer and be a lyrical MC like a Nas Rakim or a Kendrick?

[Lil Duval]

Nobody want to do that.

[AGN (Female Comedian)]

Nobody wanted to.

[Lil Duval]

Now my question is this. That's only for us own. Don't I give a about that?

[DJ EFN]

Guess what?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

All those. Let me listen, man. Let me listen.

[Lil Duval]

All those little guys we just talked about. Evolve.

[DJ EFN]

I get it.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, they gotta evolve. We gotta evolve to better contradiction. We all got no no contradiction.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

We gotta evolve to better lyrics.

[J Ski]

It seemed like the lyrical guys want to entertain. Why?

[Lil Duval]

I don't think it's as much. Cause back I see more stories. You know what I think? I think we just hold on to it. Cause we. We learned a lot through hip hop. But this generation, it's like how white people was back when we came up. They just like it for what it is and to have a good time. Time. It's just a soundtrack of what it is, but that's not what it is. It is. It can be. That's subjective.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That's not what hip hop is.

[J Ski]

What is hip hop?

[Lil Duval]

Hip hop was break dancing too, though. What is hip hop? And you ain't nobody. You don't want to see a break dance the best. You don't care about it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, I do. I actually do.

[Lil Duval]

Video right now. Show me your history right now. You watching break dancing in the last.

[J Ski]

You got your own.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I just sponsored a break dancing.

[Lil Duval]

I could tell he was one of. Are you sponsored?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I just went to the Olympics.

[Lil Duval]

Come on, listen, let's not. Let's not disengage from what hip hop is.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

This is my thing. It went to the Olympics and this is the thing. And then we're all saying, wait, maybe this is not hip hop. It's a part of hip hop. It is, it is in the Olympics. It is hip hop.

[Lil Duval]

But hip hop is the culture now.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Hip hop is the entire culture culture. And it's not just the music.

[Lil Duval]

And to me, so that's so why if you go by what you're saying, then that none of that shit matters about what's if they went from lyrical to being.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, no, I just ask if it translates. I didn't say it doesn't matter. I'm just saying, does it translate the same way?

[Lil Duval]

It can if it's done right. And that's why I say people like me personally, if you just the same way I came from comedy to music, you could do the same thing if it's done right. And if anybody can do it, Tim can do it with his articulate ass. You see what I'm saying? Cause I'm telling you, it just takes time. That's the thing. That's why I say it's like boxing. It's like you gotta stay on it, stay on it. As soon as you get out of it, you gonna feel it, you know what I'm saying? And at any moment, you can get booed. I don't give a fuck how big you is. See, Dave Chappelle still got booed.

[DJ EFN]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Lil Duval]

You know what I'm saying?

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I was there when Dave Chappelle got.

[Lil Duval]

Booed, you see what I'm saying? But still they say, stop him though. He's still the greatest of all time, you see what I'm saying? So ain't nothing harder than stand up, you know what I'm saying? Cuz you got to keep.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That's what I say this. I think it's harder to be stand.

[Lil Duval]

Up than it is.

[J Ski]

It is definitely mc.

[Lil Duval]

It definitely but everybody agree with. See, stand up is the hardest thing, but it's the easiest thing to get into. I agree.

[DJ EFN]

And that's why once you get into.

[Sponsor Voice]

It.

[DJ EFN]

Oh, anybody can do it. Maybe.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Maybe I'm agreeing, people. I think it's definitely.

[DJ EFN]

No.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I don't think everybody's built for stand up at all.

[Lil Duval]

They don't. They don't.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I don't think an MC could do stand up right. I don't think it goes that way.

[J Ski]

He's saying it's harder to do stand.

[Lil Duval]

Up because Jeff just proved it. You said it. You said you don't, but you said you don't think.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, no, I say I agree with that. I don't think it goes that way.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[J Ski]

I get what you're saying.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Yeah, but I didn't get his I don't think joke where he was trying to do.

[DJ EFN]

Where he got like.

[Lil Duval]

But that's. You just make.

[Sponsor Voice]

You was cinema in the beginning.

[Lil Duval]

And then on top of that, you just. You just. And that's just your opinion.

[DJ EFN]

Correct.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I'm just saying it just. That little piece. There's nothing funny in that. But that's a little piece.

[DJ EFN]

A little.

[Lil Duval]

Even on that little piece. That's your opinion. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[J Ski]

I am.

[Lil Duval]

I am.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

I am. I never seen the stand up. I never seen the stand up. You done Up Eddie.

[Lil Duval]

Hey, I think he's an ill rapper. It's just like. I don't know. It's just like y' all don't even understand what stand up is. Y' all don't understand the understanding. It's just like Dave Chappelle Special. I don't like it.

[DJ EFN]

That's my opinion.

[Lil Duval]

Dave Chappelle Special. Can y' all name any joke on the special?

[DJ EFN]

No.

[Lil Duval]

You know why? Cause y' all don't give a. Y' all don't give a fuck about this shit. Y' all just want to hear what he got to say about certain topics. That's what I'm saying. It's just like y'. All. Our brains don't care about stand up as much as we think we do. Our brain don't care about music or lyrics as much as we think. Think we do. We're more. That's why I say we gotta go by actions more than words, because our actions tell you what. That's why music tells us that, because it's hypnotizing.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

But. But I will tell you that I will remember how many times I laughed during a stand up. Like, how much it made me.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah, but you. You might even remember the joke.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

No, no, you're right.

[Lil Duval]

You're happy. You're right. But that's where the magic come in. You see what I'm saying? But when you put it on critiquing now you reading everything. You see what I'm saying? You reading every joke. I don't like that. What is that you reading in there? You see what I'm saying? That's. And we in a world where I don't.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That good. So I didn't read into that crazy.

[DJ EFN]

But it just wasn't.

[Lil Duval]

But then you dealing with. But the first thing you. You already. You already judged. I'm soon. You say that's ti. Yeah, that's already enough under there.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Because I know he's talented already, but.

[J Ski]

No, but you know he.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

That time.

[Lil Duval]

You don't even understand your programming. That's the thing. You don't even understand your program. You gotta stand as a comedian. We program people. It's a magic show. All this is magic. Just like rap. It's all magic. But y' all don't realize y' all getting social media. Everybody's getting programmed as we speak. So for sure the algorithm is just a. It's just another form of programming. That's all it is. That's what I do every morning. That's why I'm able to. Ain't nobody been as relevant as long as me on social media. And I use that shit like the real radio is you. You know why you know Tom join all that? Because they be with you every morning. You know why you know me? Because every morning who the first person you see my post. So. And you've been standing for 20 years. So over time, you ain't gonna have no choice but to get into it and love it.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

So it's the same thing little Duvall.

[Lil Duval]

Say he wasn't gonna say.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

And look, we got a lot of gems out here.

[DJ EFN]

Yep.

[Lil Duval]

No, it's just program. It's just understanding and understanding. And once you understand everybody, the easy person to be programmed is people that don't know they can be programmed. And that's most of the us niggas. Cause we think we know everything, but we really don't. We really don't. We still. And when I say niggas, I'm just talking about black people. I'm talking about just our community. Hip hop. You know what I'm saying? We just. So we the most ignorant, arrogant motherfuckers. We don't know shit. But we swear we know everything but we ain't right we'll figure that the.

[Noreaga (N.O.R.E.)]

Smartest person knows they don't know shit.

[Lil Duval]

Yeah it's like that's actually it's really and that's why I know, I know I'm dumb. You know what I'm saying? I come from Florida. Education ain't but so much I know but by me knowing that it makes me learn better. I don't get my then looking stupid because I ain't going to look stupid once or twice, you know, maybe three but. But that's how we got it. We just got to steal our own minds and chase the right and long as we can move in the movement the people that's going to get it they going to get it. People that don't you just make money off they poor ass. God damn.

[DJ EFN]

Makes sense, right? Take a picture.
